The Midnight Reading - “Moonlight Sonata” Aug 22, 2016

Show notes

When it comes to macabre and mysterious musings, the name Alexander Woollcott does not immediately come to mind — which makes this week’s tale “Moonlight Sonata” all the more affecting. Dim the lights as you hear James Rieser perform this minor key masterpiece of dread and demented horror.

The Midnight Reading - "The Oval Portrait" Aug 08, 2016

Show notes

This week Ali Silva treats us to a rich performance of Edgar Allan Poe’s the “Oval Portrait” — perhaps the macabre master’s shortest tale (as well as one of his most haunting and evocative) paired with a recitation of the sinister poem “The Haunted Palace.”
